Some more #MSWL items for me:

•Middle grade science fiction like Insignia by S.J. Kincaid, which I loved

•Epistolary fiction like Several People Are Typing by Calvin Kasulke

•Lyrical, literary, lush contemporary (or contemporary-ish) YA—again, Jandy Nelson comes to mind

Some #MSWL -y thoughts about what I’d love to see in my inbox:

•MG about space, fiction or non-fiction! My mom works on glass used in the aerospace industry; I have a lifelong fascination with all things outer space.

•Trans authors!

•Adult queer romance with asexual heroes!
